In neurons, the Golgi apparatus is not only crucial for proper
forward trafficking of ion channels, receptors, and other signaling
molecules but also mediates transport of exogenous molecules
by retrograde and transsynaptic paths. The Golgi also functions
in posttranslational modification of proteins and lipids by glycosylation,
with sequential glycosylation reactions performed during
trafficking through the Golgi. Consequently, damage to neuronal
Golgi structure could have important functional consequences (15)
